“We have been watching Alex for some time now and we have been very impressed with his ability in the water and also his professionalism out of the water. So when the opportunity came to get him on board the Science Team we jumped at the chance” Said Science brand manager Chris Apps.
Alex who hails from Western Australia has already been gaining plenty of magazine and video coverage being one of the lucky 5 riders that were selected to be part of Movements Future trading Grom Trip and also landing a part in the Claws and Teeth film Pastiche, which premieres around Australia throughout May

Also TR has moved on to 4 Play. I’m not sure what will become of the TR signature model but I think it’s a safe bet that they will pop back up as a re-branded MS model.

The official word from Mike:
“I am quite excited to announce the introduction of the new MS Viper surfing fin. I have been refining this design for quite some time now and I am really stoked how they finally came out. I have tried just about every fin ever made and I am comfortable saying that these are my favorite.”
MS VIPER’s feature:
- Wider, shorter blade design for quick acceleration.
- Beveled sidewalls improve control.
- Delta tail design; which I have found to enhance control and minimize drag.
- Maximum foot pocket drainage eliminates any sand or pebbles in your kick.
- Rivet grip tread enhances footing on slippery rocks yet won’t snag on coral or sharp objects.
- All VIPER surfing fins float high and are visible in the roughest surf conditions.
- All VIPER surfing fins are made of superior 100% natural rubber compounds.
- Boxed in a sturdy recycled cardboard and printed with soy base ink.

I few personal notes based on a production sample I got my hands on:
- short & quick, I didn’t compare but they are closer to a 5 than a 7
- as all Vipers are, they will be symmetrical and work on either foot
- lot’s of drainage!
- To get a better idea of the shape picture the Delta Tail on an MS 1 applied to a fin.
Full pics soon.
